Farr out man on that elephant pic. Heh...you know I've never seen an elephant with out at least one ear. My eye was drawn to that squarish block on the left though!

The pics are a little too cloudy and nebulous for me (quit laughing everyone.) Here are some examples of elephants and figures with one or more long appendage aspect to them.Remember I do see a lot of stuff that perhaps is not really there.

First elephants




You will find them in different poses. This guy is trumpeting or perhaps showering himself with water.





Sometimes not so well done, yet you can tell what it is right off the bat.



The next are ones with appendages or for some reason remind me of an elephant.

This is rather...hidden.



This has a long appendage. If an elephant it is definitely sick or dead. I would take that to mean danger..or maybe even something poisonous! Err.my own idea on this only. Not sure it is an elephant at all.




Another appendaged figure.



This would be a a different kind of elephant..if it is one. side profile full body.




This has lots of danglies. Not sure what it is!


So... in conclusion, you will find long trunked figures and carvings both in profile and frontal views. Not shown the carvings. I take elephants themselves to be good signs. If they are sick looking or in anguish (not shown here) I take them to mean watch out, be careful along with associated meanings.


Happy hunting! Hope this helps folks.

Desertmoons,

There are 2 lazy or dead elephants.






And an elephant being attacked by a monster.



And an elephant with a shadow trunk.





I THINK!! LOL.

Here is an elephant trunk with pointer. I am sorry that I don't have a picture at a forward angle. We saw this one day while sitting down eating. I thought that the Jesuites might have leaving us a message ( The Finger ). This does tend to mess with ones ego. Thanks in advance for any comments, RockHopper.

Great geoform RH,
Don't let guys from the past get your goat ...
Your being able to see this stuff gives you the chance to out think em.

Best to be able to do it too.

Keeps you alive.

elephant is sniffing air behind him?

 

[desertmoons]

Hehehe rockhopper your comment and pic made me smile.

Looks like some possible carving it might be pointing up and back at. But i sure like that "sniffing air " idea.


Shiortstack thanks! The monster eating the elephant pic might give a clue as to what elephants could mean. Time to hit the books?

Best Regards

Say DM,

Here's a couple of ideas for that monster rock.

--a Toltec head
--a Mayan Death Mask

Or it might be someone's idea of a devil's head. It's pretty interesting though.

How does that elephant with the shadow trunk strike you?

Hello all,

Not meaning to jump in the middle of the elephant stuff... Which is wonderful, by the way. I was out yesterday and found what I thought to be a monument and I am having trouble ID'ing it. I think it is a "crown". And based on it's position, a shadow marker for the draw below it as well. Any thoughts?

Clay,

Is one set of trail stumps leading to or away from this?
If so it is a Spanish creation to give a focal point in a trail ahead.
Notice that it looks like a pack as seen on the back of a horse or mule.
this could be a thing Spanish hunters nicknamed a "packmule"

 

[Clay Lindsey]

I dont know if there are stumps or other markers yet. This is on the way into the area I have been working and we having made it out to this point yet. This would be about two miles from the drill hole area, but it has caught my eye everytime.

The photo of the rock included below belongs to the cache site I have been working. Approx. 80ft up from the other cache and 100 ft from the back of the duck. Notice the bottom right edge had been cut to allow for it to stand upright. All of the colorations are different types of moss/fungus and there is a small gap large enough to barely slide your arm in behind it. This has me befuddled as well. It may be a bell or a "look here" something.

Additionally, we found a Hoyo under the ducks head. I've included a photo of that as well. This cache site appears to have three separate caches, along a line. All 80ft or so apart. The triangle thingy at the top, the exposed cache in the middle and the one shown in the Hoyo picture.

None of the spots show traditional danger signs or symbols that I can see, but I am taking my time to evaluate the area before I start moving things around. For example, the triangle is twice my size and located on the edge of a 20 foot drop.

We also found in another separate area, a campsite, the entrance to underground caverns and the entrance to a cave. It's been a very busy weekend.

Stumps.... We found another line of stumps leading straight up to this area, but I will share more on that elsewhere.

Definite Spanish influence.
7 marks a campsite,
the profile looks at a point of interest, maybe the camp.

 

[weekender]

Clay, what is that symbol on bottom left?
Also, the other red arrow looks like a snake with mouth open,
like it's ready to bite if you put your hand in there.
Could that be a rock heart the snake is looking at?

[Clay Lindsey]

All of the rocks behind it appear to be helping to prop the big rock upright. I was able to stick my arm in behind a little ways. I didn't see much.

[hadji009]

what is the shape of hoyo?

 

[Clay Lindsey]

Roughly a right triangle with the long angle on the upper right, with a rock sticking up out of the right angle. The photo doesn't show it very well because I had the camera too close in hopes of looking through it.

 

[okey dokey]

Clay,
Looks like a triangle to me.

Good evening my friends bk from my travels for a bit.

On the cave map, yes, the triangles are a primitive method of conturing, see accompanying photos for the general region. How else to draw it?

The crosses are for a bearing,

The flower symbols are deposits, in accordance with size.

The birds, their facing and positions have a definite meaning

The white marks are from a prior very old Indian markings, they are covered by the Jesuit's map.

Go from there.

Clay,
How about this black triangle inside of the hoya pointing at the shadow "M"?
